How much voltage (in terms of the power source voltage bV) will the capacitor have when it has started at zero volts potential d

Archy [21]

Answer:

The voltage is $V = 0.993V_b$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The time that has passed is $t = \frac{\tau}{2}$

Here $\tau$ is know as the time constant

The voltage of the power source is $V_b$

Generally the voltage equation for charging a capacitor is mathematically represented as

$V = V_b [1 - e^{- \frac{t}{\tau} }]$

=> $V = V_b [1 - e^{- \frac{\frac{\tau}{2}}{\tau} }]$

=> $V = V_b [1 - e^{- \frac{\tau}{2\tau} }]$

=> $V = V_b [1 - e^{- \frac{1}{2} }]$

=> $V = 0.993V_b$

A 912-kg car is being driven down a straight, level road at a constant speed of 31.5 m/s. When the driver sees a police cruiser

sergejj [24]

Answer:

786.6 N

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 912 kg

initial velocity of car, u = 31.5 m/s

final velocity of car, v = 24.6 m/ s

time, t = 8 s

Let a be the acceleration of the car

Use first equation of motion

v = u + a t

24.6 = 31.5 + a x 8

a = - 0.8625 m/s^2

Force, F = mass x acceleration

F = 912 x 0.8625

F = 786.6 N

Thus, the force on the car is 786.6 N.

A coin released at rest from the top of a tower hits the ground after falling 5.7 s. What is the speed of the coin as it hits th

Bad White [126]

Given parameters:

Initial velocity of Coin = 0m/s

Time taken before coin hits ground = 5.7s

Unknown:

Final velocity of the coin = ?

Velocity is displacement with time. To solve this problem, we have to apply one of the equations of motion.

The fitting one of them here is shown below;

V = U + gt

where;

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time taken

Here we use positive value of acceleration due to gravity because the coin is falling with the effect of acceleration and not against it.

Now input the parameters and solve;

V = 0 + 9.81 x 5.7

V = 55.917m/s

Therefore, the final velocity is 55.917m/s.

In one of the original Doppler experiments, a tuba was played at a frequency of 64.0 Hz on a moving flat train car, and a second

wolverine [178]

Answer:

$f_{beat} = 1.64\ Hz$

Explanation:

given,

frequency of tuba.f = 64 Hz

Speed of train approaching, v = 8.50 m/s

beat frequency = ?

using Doppler's effect formula

$f' = f(\dfrac{v}{v-v_s})$

v_s is the velocity of the source

v is the speed of sound, v = 340 m/s

now,

$f' = 64\times (\dfrac{340}{340 - 8.50})$

f' = 65.64 Hz

now, beat frequency is equal to

$f_{beat} = f' - f$

$f_{beat} = 65.64 - 64$

$f_{beat} = 1.64\ Hz$

hence, beat frequency is equal to 1.64 Hz

Peer assessment is a unique educational model. Think back to how you felt about peer assessment at the beginning of the term, an

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

In the beginning, I was not familiar to assess assessments of the other students. Ifelt a little bit weird that is it possible to check assignments while having an instructor.I was also a bit frustrated, to be honest, that why do we have to assess thoseassessments. It was kind of extra burden for me. But after few weeks assessingmore assignments, my feeling had changed because I was learning lots of thingsthat were changing my perspectives. I was gaining extra knowledge from my peersin the form of assessments. Yes, I am comfortable with assessing assessments,because I got to learn many vocabularies and making structures of the sentencecorrectly by improving grammatically as I am not a native English speaker. Thus, inthis way, I was learning something new in each and every assessment.
